Tips & Advice

What types of services does a handyman offer?

A handyman offers small, miscellaneous repair and maintenance services, usually for the home. These services might include installing faucets and sinks, putting shelves together, resurfacing cabinets, replacing light switches, carpentry repairs, pressure washing, drywall service, and hanging photos. As a general rule, handymen cannot take on large jobs or anything defined as “structural.”

Does a handyman do electrical work?

A handyman can do minor electrical work, i.e. replace light fixtures and switches, in most states. However, they cannot do anything technical, i.e. anything that touches routing wires or circuit boxes.Note that for mid-sized jobs that do not require a full-on electrician, but do require some electrical expertise--like fixing wiring in lamps, or replacing electrical panels--there is such a thing as an “electrical handyman” who has obtained an electrical license.

How much does a handyman service cost?

Typically, a handyman service costs in the range of $60-$75 per hour, if the handyman is an independent service provider, based on what is needed to be done in the home. A handyman agency will charge more--in the range of $100 per hour. In most situations, a handyman can also charge based on the project, and will give a flat rate for a standard small project that they know will take a certain amount of labor and parts costs. For this type of job, many handymen will give a quote before beginning. Also, ask if there is a “travel” charge or an “after-hours” charge.

What is handyman service?

Handyman service is also known as a maintenance person or “jack of all trades” specializing in odd jobs and upkeep around the house. The word “handyman” describes people who are “handy,” i.e. good with fixing things--or good at hands-on labor jobs. Handyman service is a standard convenience for people who don’t want to DIY small home projects, but don’t want to hire a licensed specialized contractor either.

Does being a handyman require a license?

Being a handyman does not require a license in all states, but it does in some. Furthermore, some states let individual counties or cities set their own contracting laws. The parameters of what is considered handyman work vs. contractor work are sometimes determined by the dollar amount of the project invoice, so an unlicensed handyman can legally take on a painting or electrical job that is small enough to be under the legal dollar amount. In other places, there’s a definition for handyman work that can be done without a license: i.e. small non-structural repairs.

I called this business I found on Craigslist and right from the start the man that answered sounded rude. I was looking for a handyman to hire to do some needed work at apartments I manage and he asked where in Stockton the apartments were and rejected the job due to location. If the ad says that you serve the Stockton area then why would you reject the jobs especially knowing that we manage great complexes with great tenants?? I give this business 1 star.

I wish I could give no star to this business!This business lie to it's consumer just to get their money! We put $1500 down and sign a contract with them to hold a rental house for us. We been told that if we cancel the contract before signing final release and getting the key, they will only deduct the house rent in those days that the house was out of market because of us, and they will return the rest of our deposit money back. Because of a problem that we experience for living in that house, we had to cancel the contract. At the first they said it's ok and it will take some more days for cancellation processing, but after about two weeks calling them, finally they said that They will not return ANY of my deposit money!!!If you want to deal with this business, just keep in your mind that you will not see any of your money or deposit that you will give them!
